Lucky Zambia struggle to beat Uganda on penalties to qualify for AFCON
Posted On Saturday, 13th October 2012
The Chipolopolo beat the Cranes in a 17-goal nail-biting thriller that ended in penalties at Namboole Stadium on Saturday.
In a do-or-die fierce second-leg encounter, Coach Bobby Williamson’s men ensured that they sealed the deal from home, ending 34 years of disappointment on the biggest stage of the continent’s football.
Uganda drew first blood 25 minutes into a game that had started in a lackluster fashion but later gained momentum and tempo.
An in-swinger from a Godfrey Walusimbi free-kick overwhelmed Zambia’s Sunzu and landed on an unmarked Geoffrey Massa who adjusted his footing instinctively and slammed the ball past a beaten Kennedy Mweene from six yards out.
The goal brought the aggregate score level to 1-1, with a nightmare of a decider on penalties looming in the distant, if no more goals would be scored by 90 minutes of normal play.
With the nature of reputation Cranes enjoy at home, they looked a more determined and more organized side in the first half of the game, always looking hungrier to penetrate the visitors’ defense.
Clearly, there was more to say about the Cranes in the first half than the African champions.
The hosts started off with tighter ball possession, with Walusimbi failing to find a good run by Brian Umony early into the game.
Another early lob from Moses Oloya had looked dangerous but did little harm to keeper Cheene.
Of the two goal stoppers on either end of the pitch, Cheene was busier, courtesy of a long-ball strategy by the Cranes midfielders directed towards the Zambian backline.
Twenty minutes into the game, a ball bounced off a Zambian defender, landing on Tonny Mawejje who blasted his way into the box, but his final low cross failing to connect to goal-scorer Massa.
The Chipolopolo continued to look ever sloppy – and cautious – in their play, allowing their opponents to rule the business on the pitch under an envelope of deafening sounds from the fans in the 42-seater stadium.
And 25 minutes later the visitors had to pay for their laxity with a superb Massa strike ensuring that Cranes go a goal ahead on a hot Saturday evening in Kampala.
The strike immediately got the Zambians up and running, eventually getting them on the ball more than they had started.
The southern Africans launched a dangerous attack down on the right flank where Lungu and Mayuka played a quick one-two but stopped short in their tracks by Simeon Masaba.
The second half of the game ushered in a much more awakened Zambian side, who started off by knocking heavily on the door of the Cranes defense.
Coach Hervé Renard’s men showed plenty of determination from the very start of the second half way into the end of the 45 minutes.
The Zambians clearly showed more energy, with heart-stopping attacks every once in a while. Ugandan goal-keeper, Dennis Onyango did not do much this afternoon though. His counterpart of the other end – Cheene – looked the busier one.
Despite the re-energized spirit into the visitors’ side, Algerian referee, Djamel Hamoudi blew an end to normal time of play straight into the dreaded penalty decider of the game.

ZAMBIA parading around as African champs is adisgrace to the continent. Always Winning games on penalties and 1 nils. it’s good they made it through. That gives them a chance to show the world if they really are it or shit
Looking at you heading, you are all so dull! in terms of luck i guess you are the ones who are lucky from a good soccer annalyst, Uganda is a much more stronger team than Malawi so all you ghanian losers keep making yourselves feel beter we will wip your asses, any where any time, bring it on! cry babies!
If Uganda is stronger than Malawi, then why did you lose to Malawi?
You are liar and a lucky person. Everybody in Africa knows that Zambia is riding on luck. Tell me something; when was the last time Malawi loss at home? very, very long time.
kay you are dull..did u see chris katongo or mayukaor any big star play against malawi. That was an under 20 team that was sent to that game. You silly clown. Mind your own business when zambia plays friendlies they rotate the squad.
Why showing Rainford Kalaba’s picture who did not play due to injury?
Still daunting your memories?
Frankly speaking, guys you are our best friends. What is fufu? Bring it to SA next year and we shall give you nshima.
Have you seen this story? The game was manipulated for Zambia to defend the title. You see what we are saying?
http://www.monitor.co.ug/OpEd/Letters/What+if+the+Cranes+loss+to+Zambia+was+stage+managed++/-/806314/1533142/-/asm8kt/-/index.html
You also lost in Monrovia 2-0 but see what Nigeria’s done?
It’s a game. Sometime you win other times you lose….And your problem is …. that Zambia won the Africa cup?? So who did you want to win … a team which actually lost? Get over it?
That’s a pretty comment Pretty! hahaha!
If Zambia, the team that has beaten you in the last three competitive matches is a disgrace, then what are you? You are obviously below a disgrace. Sour grapes! Get used to the fact that we are the champions and you will sleep better.
How many years did it take Zambia to win her first AFCON? Be honest. 50 years !!!
Dear kay,
Yes! 50yrs after Football had become competitive world over.So it was a great win and archievement in modern football.
CONGRATULATION ZAMBIA.
When are you going to win AFCON with 16 teams competing? The next 50 years to come? We shall give this cup to brothers SA or Ivory Coast, not you? Kekekekekekekekeke
Group C wil ommprise of Zambia,Tunisia,Mali and our favourite customers Ghana!
Is it true that you use muti or juju or black magic?? i see that is the reason you can never ever win against Zambia…is it the same reason Stevanovic left, please clarify??!!As for Zambia, we will keep on moving forward, continue talking while we collect trophies LOL, the way we win them does not matter. Mind you, we win B4 90 minutes, during, after and even in the boardroom like Sudan case if you are ignorant..
You are a fool my dear with your crazy analysis.1996,we hammered you 1-0,why didnt you score more goals.A one goal lead is against Ghana coz it directly pricks your souls.keep your mouth shut coz we are the champs.even if we do not defend it,it doesnt matter
That does nt matter ma friend wat is important is dat we’ve qualified de same way u did, shamless ghanan watch out 4 chipolopolo in SA congrats zambia national team
To all Zombies so called nation zambia.SHUT YOUR FILTY MOUTHS AND LEARN ok.You have no match with us when it comes to football..You are a child don’t rush to grow.you should better learn from your masters Ghana,Cote’d Ivoir,Nigeria,Cameroun and the rest before..Ghana the reigning champions and will forever be..God Bless Ghana
Wi’ll kick you again in South Africa…just wait!
Where is cameroom..? stop living in your past glory.football has changed. we can lose to uganda,malawi but not to Ghana. That is our vowl…kekekekeke
What a relief????Follow Zambians,truth over harmony, our team is not good enough to defend the Afcon or represent africa @the W/Cup…Damn, we always winning on penalties.
Sinkala, qualifying for the africa cup of nations has always bn difficult you need to appreciate that it was a difficult game.Winning on penalties is also difficult as it requires mental strenth.
sinkala u r a fool…a disgrace to all Zambians
This sinkala is not Zambian after all,his name shud be FUFU.
@ Samuel, r we just going to add up to the numbers @ Afcon bcos the team hasnot been impressive just months after winninthe Afcon i tink we thriving on luck …Spot on Sinkala u r very factual
The fact still remains,mighty Zambia has qualified for afcon 2013.
Its not chene it mweene get it…!!!ghanasoccernetnet if he was chene we would hv probably lost.oh ya u forgot 2 write in the article that the ugandas were busy perfoming rituals with chickens n still lost does juju really work i wonder.nwe congrats to the African champs n the black stars for qualification see u in south africa.
BREAKING NEWS:its official,the mere mention of Zambia or chipolopolo will attract a maximum sentence of 10years in Uganda and Ghana. This law was passed less than an hour ago#uve been warned#ignorance of the law is no defence
itz petty and pathetic to know that any team zambia struggles to beat automatically becomes its enemy.u guys shud grow up ok,futball is not a fight.besides our rivals are the nigerians not u.u can go ahead and win afcon and the world cup ok.i dont know y u shud brag when 1 unqualified sudanese player cud cause your defeat in sudan;atleast datz what caf is telling us
hahahahahaha Zanbia is not important we can spel their name any how..
CAF please give us these Gayans…pliz Hatatou.pliz papa!
Pheewwww..that was pretty close.but what is important is we have qualified.you Ghanians should start shitting your pants coz we coming for your asses..you’re screwed!!
Zambians always on ghana soccer net, nothn about zambia is interestn
holy zambians we have heard u.remember what God said abt the two ppl who were praying and 1 asked for forgiveness but the other rather praised his holiness.if that was what futbal is abt then Isreal not spain wud be the world’s best team.a very intelligent student does not brag abt his grades but itz always the student who gets a good grade once in his life who luks down on other students.even spain,ivory coast and egypt dont brag like that.u can win all the remaining afcons but u wud never be considered champions with the attitude of ur fans
hhahahahahhahahhh! you are a loser my friend, even after qualifying for south africa you cant even celebrate properly because of us, DAMN! we are so important i had no idea, what are you talking about? its almost a year since we languished you in the deepest hole of hell you are still suffering! stay there and never come back to reall soccer fun life. twa kuchita ghana!
I can’t believe you have the audacity to say Zambia is proud. If pride has a home in the world then it is in West Africa. Zambians are very humble people, but what they do not like is condescending and patronising attitudes such as possessed by Ghanaians. Look in the mirror brother and you will see pride incarnate. Anyway, they say pride makes one blind. Zambians do not hate Ghanaians, they’re just vexed by your arrogance.
Selfmade come out, where are u…hope u did’t go into a coma after hearing that Zambia has qualified.
Stop lying to yourself and think of how Zambia qualified. Are proud of your performance? Are you sure you can even make it in the group level?
Do not forget that everybody will come after Zambia in SA. Can Zambia survive with this type of football: no flair, no beauty and no flow but just KICK AND RUN? Anyway, congratulations!
kay you are jealous have u seen egypt in afcon 2013. zambia has done well remove your jealousy.
what are we doing about this Memphis Depay, Ghana have good midfield and defence our problem is the striking and sometimes goalkeeping I think we should invite this guy and other of his like both local and forign and if we could do that we will become unstopable.
Ok jst whatb does it take 2 defeat zambia?????Even i defeat they dnt lose????i even after months playin the game 4 months ago they stil beat sudan 3 0 what manner of the team is this.nwe a salute the champs
Ok jst whatb does it take 2 defeat zambia?????Even after defeat they dnt lose???? even after playin the game 4 months ago they stil beat sudan 3 0 what manner of the team is this n it must hurt to b ghanain ryt now.nwe a salute the champs
Please CAF pair us with Zambia. They sure going to go out in the group phase. Zambia is a failed Nation. I hate them. And they’re as ugly as hell. Not even funny at all !
I am yet to see a handsome Ghanaian man. They are probably not yet born!
Ghanasoccer, behave, since when did our site turn to Zambiasoccer? Give us better news than this Zambia shit
Ahh wat cn we do the’re the defending champions,we hv to write about dem.
yes. seriously we dont need zambians on this forum. take their messages out. Its ghanasoccernet, and mighty ghanaians are only to share their views.
Can Zambian women do anything else other than the OBVIOUS? The whole country is getting too fat.
ZAMMMBIIIIIAA the king the king of africa…. EGYPT, GHANA, IVORY COAST, CAMEROON, MOROCCO, TUNISIA, ALGERIA, SOUTH AFRICA, NIGERIA and minnows ugnada all bow down to the african kings. We reign supreme we gonna represent africa at the world cup in brazil Ghana know this they are scared of us. We are true african champions without some of our stars we still qualified!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my word you ghanians are so jealous zambia has qualified what luck???? where is egypt today??? A true african champion can grind results even man utd have to grind results. Do you know how much pressure is on you when you champion everyone wants to beat you. oh i forgot you guys forgot what it means to be chmapions since you last won the cup 31 yrs ago.
You hit the nail the head…. COuldn’t have put it any better
iyeee chipolopolo
noo condition is permanent.mind the way u talk now cos u can soon be on the other side.just 1 AFCON and u are going gagaa?remember what i’ve stated;an intelligent student does not brag about his grades but its always the student who gets a gud grade once in his life time who brags about it.just think about this,who can u beat at afcon when just an unqualified sudanese player caused your defeat to sudan..atleast that is what caf is telling us.
GO ZAMBIA GO!WIN THE AFCON AND THE WORLD CUP OK!
TIME WUD TELL A LOT
dont worry we will the afcon and qualify for world cup you guys are so arrogant no wonder we keep beating you you so scared of zambia you know you not even gonna go to the world cup. You ghaninans are just our slaves we are your kings. Come on ernest wash my feet im zambian king of africa.
i follow futball with my head not my heart so i agree that zambia have played some gud futball lately and the stars have not recovered from some setbacks from both afcon and worldcup 2010…i humbly wash your feet but dont forget about what i said about the STUDENT…time wud tell a lot.GO ZAMBIA GO!!!reign forever ok.
WOW! Finally a smart ghanian! this guy really talks sense, i wish the others were like this!
Zambians are God’s favored team of the moment. Weatha u win 20 goals to nil doesn’t make any difference if u can be shot dead by these (Chipolopolo) copper bullets.
One thing I like is that, a rivalry between Chipolopolo & Black Stars has emerged. But Zambians are winning talking here because too much of democracy has given them a chance to enter Ghananian web space & talk what ever they want. Now look at u Ghana, what’s difficulty to search what Chipolopolo is saying on their home pages? Wake up men
u dont matter to us.we see u as little children who have just had one pat on the back.u cant be our rivals cos u are too young.we go with cameroon,ivory coast,nigeria,egypt.u are not our play mates ok,pls understand that a child can become better than the father but it does not mean they have the same age and experience.ur class are south africans,uganda,malawi,lesotho and all the southern african teams.
My Ghanaian friend has decided to marry my Zambian daughter so that Ghana may have lucky and win 2013 AFCON. Haaaa but Ivory Coast is there too!!!! Only zambia can contain them!!!!
Wait maybe until after 2051 when you will have grand children looking after you.
In soccer a win is a win,weather via penalties or regulation time.I know it’s BITTER PILL 4 Ghana 2 swallow,they are in total bewilderment that we (Zambia)kicked them twice in quick succession.Congrats Zambia 4 qualifying!!!!
ZAMBIA IS ZAMBIA,under-rate them at your own peril.I have never seen players taking penalties with a smile they felt no pressure and that is why they are champions of Africa.Mark my words they will shock Africa again next year,people like you kwame pito still do not believe that Zambia is better than ghana for the record Zambia has beaten ghana twice within a space of four months.
Congratulations to both nations for deserved victories. Playing away from home is never straight forward.
Hope the two countries enjoy the banter leading up to the next head to head in Accra – but also not make not degrade these two peace loving countries by insulting one another like primitives
God has actually listened to my prayers for Zambia not to chicken out of AFCON 2013 so that they will meet the big guys again.We shall see this time round because the ghosts are in Gabon not South Africa.
hahahhahahahaha,
you are sick man! which ghosts, so you admit you are afraid of us? you sick f****ker, problem you believe in all sorts of Sh**T, i just had another good laugh from one zambian blogger on a zambian website, you see zambians are so interligent than you BLACK DOTS, he wrote, ” how you win is not important, but winning is, FRENCHIE GOT IT”, frenchie is our couch by the way, i hope this makes sense to your small brain but i know it doesnt, anyway its worth the while trying to make you understand the mathematics of football, oh before i forget, on bbc news the woman news reader refered to us as “the experince of the champions” you here that? we are the champions, experienced, and we are recognised! you are nothing but loosers!
Iam a Zambian and i dont support the comments of some of my countrymen and some Ghanians, we are one and football is one thing that brings us closer. There is no need to bring in parents and start insulting them. Every persons parents must be respected and honored. I believe Ghana is a good team and has some very skillful players and i respect the team and the people of Ghana some of whom are my friends at school. They say everything has its time and if 2012 was Zambias year, next year we should be ready to support the country that will be crowned champions thats how civilized people behave. Pride comes before a fall…we must all remember that!!! I wish the best for everyone and to my friends in ghana know that insults do not come from the mouth of evry zambian just like i know insults do not come from the mouth of every Ghanian but jst from a few bad eggs in the basket…. Peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@SAMUEL-shut your dirt mouth.you follllllllllllllllllll.
pls no insults ok
But dis Zambia’s who taught u how to speak English we will meet at the afcon soon n we shall show u wat we are
South Africa,here we come,we r nt good at qualifiers bt definately have a title 2 defend.Congratulations to Ghana,Mali and Zambia on their afcon 2013 appearance.And my fellow Zambians lets respect each other no insults and bragng.
All you ghanians are just our slaves I am a zambian a king of africa all you ghanaians should wash my feet. you should call your ugandan brothers to help you. We are not letting you go to brazil you arrogant people you were praying zambia doesnt qualify in zambia people dont even care about ghana in fact we wanted you to qualify as all the best teams should be there but you guys were busy doing juju so we dont qualify.
Dr who what ghosts? its a shame you guys believe in juju way too much,the name black juju suits ghana very well.
thank you
ha aha ha, ghana……we have met twice in a space of five months and you have failed to beat us…..you are a bunch of losers who just talk too much….we will teach you a another lesson in accra….watch this space….by the way we are going to the world cup at your expense…..
maybe but think about this.what are u going to do there when just 1 unqualified sudanese player caused ur defeat to sudan..@least that is what caf is telling us…1 player from sudan beats u,malawi beats u and uganda beats u and then u still proud of urself??let me tell u dat world cup is not about beating ghana oo itz about the rest.
You fools from Ghana have a big problem. You were playing with Malawi but you still continue talking about Zambia. You have even developed knee jerking fear just at the mention of Zambia. Tell me how many times you have beaten Zambia and i will tell u how many times Zambia has beaten Ghana. You are not our class, and get that into your greasy heads. Foooooooools!
@proud zambian-you are pround pig.You son of a whore.You wish you are a Ghana.The best in EVERYTHING AS FAR AFRICA IS CONCERNED.
ASK YOUR FIRST PRESIDENT ABOUT GHANA.
YOU IDIOT INFECTED HIV PILLOCK.
There goes the Black BABOON
why we as ghanaians even debate with those zambians at all in football.they are not our match and they can never be.4 times champions,2 world cup appearances beating world biggest teams.not even the best player of zambia can match any of our players in our under 20.they can brag but not our match.i luv gh.
The fact that Zambians are on our Ghana websites show how scared they are of us.My fellow Ghanaians stop making this people think they are on our level by exchanging words with them.GH4EVER
Zambians are here: http://www.zambianfootball.co.zm,
some who come here come here because of your stupid reporting about our country.
What kind of reporter fails to spell names? on our site, whether its a ugandan, malawian or whatevre name will be spelled correctly coz we are educated, im not so sure about the reporters of this site
The mark of a true champion is grinding out results even after having a very bad day at the office.Congrats Zambia
Congrats to Ghana for beating malawi. Congrats to Zambia for beating Uganda.One wiseman once said, u can dispute history!! Ghana 1 afcon trophy.Zambia 1 afcon trophy.Thats only part of history.Can someone add more please!!
itz actually ghana 4 but datz all history.i think africa shud be planning on how to make a better impact at the world cup cause a divided house can never stand.we can argue on futball terms in the continent but when the arguments go beyound futball we can never face the other continents together.i think the ghana zambia rivalry is becoming unhealthy.
PLEASE NO INSULT OK.
With 4 to 8 teams competing. Start preparing for 2013 AFCON? Remember SA is our second home.
“Lucky Zambia struggles to beat Uganda” It’s amazing what jealousy can do. There is a whole generation that has never seen the BS lift a trophy. Poor Ghana, 30 years of torture! Keep waiting another 30 years.
Are you running away from the truth?
Lucky zambia struggles to beat Uganda-that is the plain truth, if you don’t like it go and read the polished version on your website,
Maybe the copper bullets should be christened the LUCKY BULLETS.
Only fools resort to insulting each other. Majority of fans from both countries just want to enjoy the game.
Zambians on this forum throwing back insults should grow up and discuss football matters only. You don’t insult someone back in their house. You leave. If they come to your house, you may have a right to do so. The fools on this site from both countries are in the minority. Unfortunately, fools are everywhere.
Today, Zambians are champions. Period.
Ghana has the chance to replace them in a few months. Period.
Banter is good. Insults should be beneath you all.
“Today, Zambians are champions. Period.
Ghana has the chance to replace them in a few months. Period.”
Best comment ever on this site…. Ghanians should realize that more Zambians ncoming to this site is a good thing as along as people dont insult each other and instead chat and share ideas
Okey Guys ……we have all qualified for the AFCON…let the preparations begin.We will meet in South Africa next year…….oH by the way SA is our backyard.Remember what happened to you in 1996 in South Africa. Ask Tonny Yeboah. Then the qualifiers for the 1988 Seoul Olympics .Oh I see, most of you were not yet born…….you missed out because of Zambia.
Are you saying you saw Tony Yeboah in that 96 3rd place game in SA? We rested all our important players because like Brazil, bronze medal games are never important for out Black Stars. We used players alike Ablade Kuma and and other team C players. Even then those players refused to score after beating your defence on a number of occasion in protest to the coach for resting the superstars. Ask kalusha about how it felt when he played against the black stars with Abedi Pele and tony Yeboa in Senegal 92.the only time we displayed interest in a bronze game was when we played against Ivory Coast. This was due to our respect for them. I also wonder why you people talk about the Olympic Games in 88 as your biggest achievement at the world stage? Do you know that ghana was the first African country to deliver Africa an Olympic football medal? Stop talking about winning a single game against the Italians. It shows your want of archeivement. Zambians tend to be too mediocre, rejoicing in their mediocrity. Ghanaians would have raised hell had we struggled against Uganda to qualify. How many goal have Zambia scored away from home since they won the Afcon. It should be a course for concern?
Hey GSN, thats a biased and prejudicial headline. We are not lucky to qualify. You had an easy draw against our neighbours just like the game you walloped Lesotho. Uganda are no walk overs like the teams you have been playing lately. Please be professional in crafting your headlines
pls when was the last time Uganda qualified for the AFCON. u defected us one goal on ur home soil but remember the return match is in GHANA. dat match well be ALL DIE BE DIE
i love ghanians….kikikikikiki…
Hey Ghana, over the past 20 years, we have met at senior level 4 times and you have won just once curtesy of the great Abedi Pele at the 1992 Afcon. In 1996, we beat you 1-0 in the third and fourth play off. In 2012, we have already beate you twice with 1 -0 score lines in each case. By the way, the last time you beat us via that Abedi strike, it was 1-0 too. Based on the above, who is the better team. It’s clearly Zambia because we have beaten you 75% of the time during our last four meetings. By the time we play you in Accra, we would have already qualified to the next round of the World Cup 2014. And please… no insults. These are just facts
If you are that good, why took you 50 years to win your first AFCON? And why have you not played in the world cup, not even an age level?
Show some respect and you will be respected.
@Kay some great footballing nations are just unlucky not to have won major trophies. Take a good look at Netherlands they have appeared in the most number of finals but have never won a world cup title? It had to take Spain so many years to finally win their first world cup title. Zambia has been in the finals of the AFCON 3 times now, 3 bronze medals and 2 quarter finals.Surely we had to lift the cup atsome point. Even Senegal who reached the 2002 world cup quarter finals have never won an AFCON title, so can you say that Senegal is not a good team? Even Mali are they not a good team?
You say it took us 50 years to win the AFCON!! Ok, some great football nations like spain just came out of their shells recently. The bottom line is that we finally managed our maiden title in 2012. It would have been earlier had it not been for the loss of our entire team in 1993- which was more talented than the present team. Ghana, remember too that you last won AFCON 30 years ago and it was when the format / set up was less tough (just 8 teams) compared to now
Listen to me all you people writin on this site.We gona have a very interesting AFCON in South Africa.We gonna see if THE CURRENT AFRICAN CHAMPION ZAMBIA will defend the title.Unfortunately juju is not workin on the ZAMBIANS whether u slaughter chickens or goats its not workin at all!!!!!Congratulations to Ghana and Zambia for qualifying for the 2013 AFCON.
I don’t think Zambia would do well at South Africa. If you cannot beat Uganda, who are you going to beat?
Did you see how Ghana treated your boss today? yes Malawi is your master.
Please, stop bragging and be very afraid because everybody will come after Zambia in SA.
@ kay you talking rubbish. Zambia is winning the africa cup we have players that you ghanians have not faced. Players who are doing well in europe we gonna call these players and we gonna bash you. Some players like fwayo tembo are doing so well in leagues like romania pushing their clubs for champs league football. Jacob is a beast in holland nah we gonna bash you again zambia is just to good at the moment consistently getting the right results.
Absolutely no juju works against Zambia! I cracked seeing live chickens at Namboole..i was like..whaaat!
Congrats to Zambia and Ghana for qualifying …Convincing result for Ghana and Chipolopolo needs to go back to the drawing board …Ghana, see you in SA
Group B wil comprise ZAMBIA Tunisia Mali n our customer Ghana.

Hey cool down boy! Gee, that mouth of yours needs a duct tape!
not to fuel the insult galore but u zambians are quite funny. loses to walawi ” oh! Malawi is a good team, they will beat you black stars” nearly failed to make to the afcon by uganda ”oh! Uganda is stronger than malawi”, black stars play horrible football yet wins ” your team didn’t play anything, u were lucky to win” zambia plays horrible football yet wins on penalty and gets called lucky ” just like the wise zambian guy from our site wrote, it doen’t matter how u win, a win’s a win” make up your minds already people.
I believe we’re all humans,we are civilized African people,why so much hate and insults on this site.GSN shouldn’t post offensive comments.When we (Ghana) beat Nigeria like 2-3 times in a row,we talked about our prowess,let’s give Zambia the chance to enjoy the limelight for the next 2 months cos the 2013 ACN will be an amazing tournament to watch.I just can’t wait for January 2013.All the big names are representing so till the kickoff,lets wait and see.Guys watxh the words u say on this platform,it myt just be online,but is says alot about u and ur upbringing.Congrats Black Stars,Congrats Chipolopolo,Super Eagles,Elephants,Carthage Eagles, & Atlas Lions.
Well said wise man!
Zambia is the strongest team on the continet we have never actaully played our strongest team before in afcon 2103 we will call our beasts ask Nana asare in holland who is jacob mulenga he will tell you. We have players in europe you dont know about and we gonna call them we gonna bash you all at afcon 2013 we are the kings and you guys will keep washing our feet.
Zambians are too old and ugly.how can a whole team be full of ugly players?look at katongo,the guy is damn grown and ugly.like a baboo.Infact,Ghana will destroy their so call team because they are not being humble and appreciative for the favour God had on them but becoming so swollen headed thinking they have the power to play every team on the continent.Zambians themselves didn’t believe they could beat Ghana and Ivory coast till that luck shined on them.God said ,l will take all my mercies from you for being so ungrateful.Look at how they struggled with Uganda?Do we call this a team that deserve Africa champions?How can this qualify for World cup?Now way….We shall descipline them and let them sing a new song from now on.
My Ghanaian brothers your bitterness and hatred towards Zambia won’t take you anywhere. Just look at the heading? Anyway it is understandable that many teams never expected Zambia to win the AFCON and hence the ridiculing, insults and mockery. It’s not only Ghana even Nigerians and South Africa are bitter as well. The die is cast and the platform is set. See you guys in South Africa next year.If anything the onus is on Ghana to win the cup and prove a point because currently we are the reigning champions.
The fact that Zambians are on our Ghana websites show how scared they are of us.My fellow Ghanaians stop making this people think they are on our level by exchanging words with them. Zambians we know u guys have a website, please stay on it and we promise to never come on there. Leave the Ghanasoccernet for us, cos it’s ours and not yours!
I have just waked up bcos i was too drunk yesterday to blog. Zambia the record breaker. Nigeria, Senegal, Angola, etc and live chickens were being slaughtered in the stadium so that Uganda beat the reigning champions but failed. How the goal was scored not even slo motion was shown, only to see the ball in the net.
Every team in world wants to beat zambia. So my friends Ghanaians bear with us, the pressure is too much. You know Namboole stadium in Uganda, its only zambia who has broken their record. They don’t loose in that useless stadium. Ghana ask your under 20 players they will tell you. We know you did not want us to go to SA at all cost. But alas we shall meet there. Please no insults here lets just celebrate peacefully. I was watching zambia vs uganda game with my ghanaian friend seth owusu sarpong here in zambia and we are friends like i do not know. First want to come and visit your country as well.
I’ve lost all the respect i had for ghana, u are the causer. U are so naive and your thinking is warped and myopic. U can’t see beyond yo nose. Just go and eat fufu and pounded yam.
Kennedy Mweene, I am giving you my wife Janet C and Nsunzu I am rewarding you with my princess daughter for free.Gyan, Mweene here comes again. CAF please give us Ghana SA.
u d zambians shld shout ur beaks when did u herdsmen started playing footbal, ur rivals ar d nigerians nd not u d filty stinky slimy fulanis
Zambia would need more than luck to survive in South Africa because all the big guys are coming up strongly. No one would underestimate you again.
Is it true that Ghana uses muti or juju or black magic??we hear that is the reason Stevanovic left..clarify please??? No wonder you don’t win
It is Zambia who use juju not Ghana.Just check your history.
we re not interested in the Afcon. We will come and luckily beat Ghana 1:0 in Acra for Brazil 2014. We played a mind game as usual in Uganda
My dear friends in Ghana, the football pitch at Nambole is pathetic. No wonder zambia did not display their skills and ghana could have failed to display too. So no wonder big teams always fail to shine at nambole. But it was tactical to push the play into penalty stage and it worked well for zambia
Why these zambians on us like that….you guys talk too much, the only place to do the talking is on the pitch so kindly shut up for a minute.
And dont even think of qualifying to the knock out stage..its a tip for free lol
Is it true that you use muti or juju or black magic?? i see that is the reason you can never ever win against Zambia…is it the same reason Stevanovic left, please clarify??!!As for Zambia, we will keep on moving forward, continue talking while we collect trophies LOL, the way we win then does matter. Mind you, we win B4 90 minutes, during, after and even in the boardroom like Sudan case if you are ignorant..
West africans are SOCCER TALIBANS!look what happenned in senegal, always embarrassing AFRICA, taking us back to those babaric days! So Talibanism!
Ghana and Zambia have always been friendly countries to each other. Our first president Kaunda was Nkwame Nkuruma’s buddy. Much as we have had differences arising from Zambia’s recent 1-0 wins of Ghana, let us avoid insults at all costs. I personally have a Ghanaian friend here by the name of Edem Djokotoe and he is a good guy and proud of his country too. We always agree to differ when it comes to football and who is better between out two countries in terms of recent results on the pitch – not past glory – but we debate with respect and not insults. Finally, I would like to invite my Ghana brothers to our number 1 football site here in Zambia at http://www.zambianfootball.co.zm.
zambians are jux som crumbles of dried shit!hw can u boast if u hv players lyk the katongos,kalaba…..dey jux bench warmers n massieve wankers.lets c hw long u will be lucky,evry zambian is wants dier team to beat ghana so dat dere will be free sex nation wide.fuck!! THANK GOD WE ARE NOT ZAMBIANS
I will not insult you back for calling us those crude names. I still appeal to you to tone down and be sensible enough as a civilised person. All the chaps insulting here including you the so-called “im a ghana” are so primitive and must have had a bad upbringing. Lets debate football and analyse issues that resorting to unprooductive insults. Shame on you!
Latest News: Unconfirmed reports reaching my office is that CAF has decided to pair Zambia and Ghana in Group C in Pretoria. Watch the draws in two weeks time. It’s computerised. The winner will automatically qualify to the world cup 2014 and will lift the cup in Brazil. Therefore, therefore they won’t be a return match for the world cup qualifies next year. SA will decide the destiny of these two african football powerhouse nations.
Sad, southern african nations always depends on Zambia at AFCON. South Africa, no match. Angola Vs Zimbabwe? Angola disappoints. Zimbabwe rare participants. All southern african teams booted out.
Who will save Southern Africa apart from Zambia please? ZAMBIA THE REAL AFRICA. I AM INVITING YOU GHANAIANS FOR 2013 WORLD TOURISM SUMMIT TO BE HELD IN ZAMBIA/ZIMBABWE. I WILL BEAR THE COSTS. IF YOU WANT TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME JUST TELL ME. I WILL GIVE YOU MY EMAIL ADDRESS AND I WILL BOOK YOUR STAY AT PROTEA HOTEL IN LIVINGSTONE IN ADVANCE SO THAT YOU CAN SEE VICTORIA FALLS. IF YOU CANNOT MANAGE THE AIR TICKETS, I WILL PAY FOR YOU. ASK SETH OWUSU SARPONG A ZAMBIAN GHANAIAN FRIEND OF MINE. BUT IN DECEMBER I WILL BE COMING FOR A VISIT IN YOUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. YOU SHOULD SHOW ME HOW YOU PREPARE FUFU. I HAVE TAUGHT SETH HOW TO PREPARE NSHIMA AND HE EATS IT LIKE A PIG.
By the way we are an English speaking nation with very good accent and whites like us bcos of good communication skills.
We don’t eat words like selfmade. How are you my friend selfmade and ghanaman who are satanic in nature and have no feelings with people affected or infected with hiv. Remember, if you are not infected, you are affected. Whatever money you are paying to the Government, you are contributing to the world for the manufacture of ARV’s.
Sorry my friends in Ghana and Zambia for these comments but Selfmade has no regard for human beings and God will punish you for that. It’s not everyone who is infected who was mishaving, others were born with it and others by accidents etc. Anyway I can’t much bcos my friend seth has stopped me saying he does not represent Ghanaian people.
stupid herdsmen aint got no place in football! ugly mother fukers.zambians aint our sisi bt our step daugther n i bet we gona molest em wit a giant dildo.one zambia one shitty nation
I accept your stupidity.
you are more stupid.
feelin fucked up wen i tink of da youth of zambia,instead of tinkin n findin solution to dier high death rate dey waste al day comentin on dis site.hoping dier shitpolopolo wil score us so dat dey can hav sex nation
Just watched Zambia versus Ghana on youtube 8/2/12
By Bob Williamson (Uganda Coach)
Uganda Cranes coach Bobby Williamson was not happy with some of the Caf rules after they were knocked out of the Africa Cup of Nations competition that will be staged in South Africa.
Williamson was at pains to understand why their tie had to be decided by penalties after Uganda had cancelled out Zambia’s first leg lead. The visitors won 9-8.
“We should have gone into extra-time instead of straight into penalties. We won 1-0 and it’s unfair that a qualification has to be reached through that means.”
“Also, Zambia as the African champions deserve to get automatic qualification in order to defend their title.”
He also blasted Zambian keeper Kennedy Mweene for time wasting.
“I don’t appreciate that Kennedy Mweene didn’t uphold sportsmanship as he resorted to time wasting towards the end of the second half.”
“I’m impressed with how the boys played and this is a very good crop of players who should be kept in the team to continue with budding of the young talent.”
The result means that the former will have to wait longer to break their drought that has witnessed them miss the competition for a record 34 years.

Forgetting that your goalkeeper wasted close to 30 minutes of regulation time in Ndola Zambia by feigning injuries whilst the ball was being played far away from him. Mweene only did it once in last minutes. But Onyango started delaying tactics from the first whistle upto the end in Ndola infuriated fans. So it was better for Onyango and not for Mweene?
My friend, you are fired for breaking Uganda’s history of not losing at home.
Exactly what i was thinking about!! He’s been given a taste of his own medicine..
@ viva the revolution… am here now but son stay clear of me bcos i don’t want to insult today…… ya all know i could be nasty if i want but is football and don’t want to diss… viva the revolutionciioooooooooooooooooo !!!! Uganda be shit!!!
I am still waiting for the congratulatory message. You clearly said that if Zambia qualifies you will personally congratulate us!!!
You didn’t show any championship character, in fact Zambia was gifted the win. Read the story below.

Why is it that so many african teams played in the qualifiers and GSN has just mentioned Zambia, are you monitoring them,what is the issue? Coz you havent written about other teams
Thats true why GSN always monitoring Zambia,i guess ghana pple don’t even know dat there were serious distubances in Dakar between CIV n Senegal..GSN quit stalking us!
Zambians open their behind their computr n type useless things.theit biggest star is mayuka n he is switch butt cheeks on the bench.u are always on gsn to spy on ghana no wonder u employd an assistant coavj frm ghana..u jus envy evrythng we do,u can nevr play like us,win moee trophy like us most of al develope ur footbal like us..u wer jealous wen we were makn africans proud..u ppl are starvin livin in hiv n compare urself to ghana.we cant b ur rivals cause u are not on our level uganda n malawi could b ur rival.u hv seen da teams goin yo SA ur coach must b shittn in his pants cause with ur foolish team u hv u wnt make it past da group stage its a fact.zambia mediocre in everythng.ridin on luck.der.wil b no luck fo u in SA n een u vom to ghana ur last luck wad used against uganda. U are not on ghanas level dnt force a rivalry.wen gh n ivory coast or nigeria meet u knw dese teams hv a history not onetym hiv infested rubber bullets..zambians r on gsn cause dey wanna b educated fools.modern dae slaves
Zambians are too old and ugly.how can a whole team be full of ugly players?look at katongo,the guy is damn grown and ugly.like a baboo.Infact,Ghana will destroy their so call team because they are not being humble and appreciative for the favour God had on them but becoming so swollen headed thinking they have the power to play every team on the continent.Zambians themselves didn’t believe they could beat Ghana and Ivory coast till that luck shined on them.God said ,l will take all my mercies from you for being so ungrateful.Look at how they struggled with Uganda?Do we call this a team that deserve Africa champions?How can this qualify for World cup?No way….We shall descipline them and let them sing a new song from now on.I love the arrogance of the so called Zambians.We shall meet again soon.
I don’t know why Zambians are so dirty like this,How can they smell like this?No,no,no,they are not neat at all….Pls wise up and be neat for cleanliness is next to Godliness.You are ugly people but keeping your selves neat is also a problem.
Zambians must be wise because you can’t compare yourselves to Ghanaian soccer.Think about keeping clean than talking about Ghana because you guys are seriously dirty and smelly with undisputable fact that the majority of you extremely ugly.[not different from the Apes]
I see Zambia lifting the Trophy again at Soccer city in South Africa.I see Ghana beaten by a new comer!.Its unbelievable how soccer has just revolutionalised…its amazing.There is a new kid on the block.Believe it or not there is gona be upsets.Those new comers that have qualified for the first time want to beat Ghana and Ivory Coast.ooh what an AFCON its gonna be!
